VK3AUU, fair enough.
I thought I would go with Christianity for convenience sake and the fact that I know a little more about Christianity than any other faith, but I Concur.
I guess my objections to any of this is not because I am not a religious person, but because it flies in the face of what I believe in, and everybody else, should believe in.
Being free, free to say and do whatever they please.
I have never argued against the consequences, that is a given.
But at least leave me the right to "suffer the consequences".
It is yet another brick in this country's regressive "house of failures".
Pandering to the minorities has been an unjustified and yet proud historical embarrassment and dogma of this country.
And we keep going further and further down the road to self destruction without any sign of common sense and reason from all those who should know better.

I have my own religion, & have no truck with the usual lot. I am the head of it, & the disciples.

Those adhering to my religion are offended that there is a single Muslim in Australia, & mosques are the most offensive buildings. The only way to relieve my offence is to remove all Muslims from the country, & open the Mosques to the street people.

A problem isn't it? They can do away with the offensive section 18C, or they have to remove these offensive people to comply with it. Talk about the law, & those who make it being an ass.

There is no connection between a "religious discrimination act" and religious freedom. Such an act would not be necessary for the practice of religion, nor would it forward the freedom of religion in any way.

Individuals should be free to associate or not with anyone of their choosing: if that be on grounds of religion (or gender, sexuality, age, race and what-not), then so be it - nobody is exempt from having some people who do not like them, there will always be others!
